Full details

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

While the ProGrid Guide 7 offers good protection and comfort for everyday running, marathon runners may prefer shoes with more advanced, modern cushioning and energy return technologies for optimal long-distance performance.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Saucony, or try them on in-store if possible. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing.

Can these trainers be worn by both men and women?

Yes, these trainers are designed with a unisex fit, suitable for adult wearers of any gender. Pay attention to sizing charts for the best fit.

What is the primary difference between these and modern running shoes?

The ProGrid Guide 7 emphasizes a retro design with established protection and comfort principles. Modern shoes often incorporate lighter materials, more dynamic cushioning systems, and newer sole technologies for enhanced responsiveness and reduced weight.

How should I clean the trainers if they get muddy?

Gently remove excess mud with a dry brush. Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe down the surfaces. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Always allow them to air dry completely.

What does 'ProGrid' refer to?

ProGrid is a cushioning technology developed by Saucony, designed to provide a balance of shock absorption and responsiveness, offering a protective and comfortable ride.

Is this shoe good for overpronation?

The Guide series historically offered stability features, but the specific support level for overpronation in this re-release should be evaluated based on individual needs. Consulting a running specialist is recommended if you have specific pronation concerns.

Troubleshooting

Uneven wear on soles

This could indicate a pronation issue. Consider consulting a running specialist or trying orthotic insoles. Ensure you are using the shoes on appropriate surfaces.

Discomfort after long runs

Check if the sizing is correct and if the lacing provides adequate support. The cushioning is designed for protection, but for very long distances, newer shoe technologies might offer more advanced shock absorption.

Material creasing excessively

Minor creasing is normal with use. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Store shoes properly to maintain their shape.

Color fading

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with a damp cloth rather than abrasive cleaners.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no setup. Simply ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility:

  • Running Surfaces: Best suited for road, pavement, and light trails.

Care:
